Anyone who knows when boost socket library is comming and where I can get beta version..?
Hugo Duncan and I have been juggling ideas about a socket library for boost and discussing on the boost wiki and partly on the list. And we have started with an rough sketch of how a socket library for boost could look like. It's currently checked in into the boost sandbox. http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?BoostSocket contains some of the discussions. The work has not been progressing as much as I want due to a heavy workload on my daytime job. But we certainly would like some feedback on the progress so far at least some pointers if we are on the right course ;). The implementation in the sandbox has been compiled with gcc/cygwin, bcc and vc6.0 and vc7.0. So we need some input on porting to Unix especially the asynchrounous parts. So I would say that we have a long road to travel to finnish implementation produce documentation and so we can ask for a formal review. And when we have come that far there is the formal review ;). So I wouldn't count on sockets to be a part of boost for some time (unless of course someone else submits another proposal or helps me and Hugo out on what we have so far to speed the progess).
